STella, is there a way to permanently block people's posts. I don't mean from the moderator end, ...but rather from the member end? ie: say for instance if a poster like 'crackerjack' was getting on my last nerve and I didn't want to see any of their posts. Is there a way for me to fix it so I wouldn't have to see any of their posts at all?

ps - My apologies if there actually is a member named 'crackerjack'. I just grabbed a name at random.

NOt that I know of. And I've talked about it w/a member a few times that has been here much longer than me. Good Lord....I wish there was......I wish there was.....I wish there wassssssssssssssss........

...............but I guess as a mod on certain boards I wouldn't be able to utilize the function if we had one............................

.....................but the function is such a good idea that I will PM Ron about the possibility............. right now

but how would that work? would that mean that when my fingers start twitching and I'm in the mood to type, that I'd be posting to myself? Would I be having a conflab on the internet back and forth and only certain people who chose to would be able to read it? The thread wouldn't read write.

Makes no sense. Either you ban people - or silence them - if they get too naughty.

Yeah well if the thread doesn't "read right" in the first place ... I think it could actually help.
